I am not sure if this question was asked before, so will ask anyway
Which of the providers ( Saylor.org, Straighterline, Study.com, Ed4Credit.com, Shmoop.com, Sophia.Org) have timed exams and which doesn't? Or does it vary course by course?

Straighterline has timed quizzes and the final is timed (as well as proctored). I have not taken any courses from the other providers, so someone more knowledgeable than me will have to answer that

Some offer open book exams, but they all have timed exams.
EDIT: It was just announced ( https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...t-extended) that ALEKS has been renewed. Untimed option for Math courses have returned - at rock bottom costs.

I have noticed that of all of the tests I've taken, none of them were an issue in terms of timing except ones where I had to write (English Comp II & Tech Writing TECEP's). For everything else, I had PLENTY of time to finish (some I didn't even take half of the time allotted). I admit I'm a fast reader, but I still think time is probably not the biggest issue people have - it's not what people complain about on this forum, and we take a LOT of tests here.

I am coming back to take exams after a 30 year gap so little nervous

Well, if you need math credit, ALEKS has untimed math that you can do. It's for a limited time, but worth giving it a shot if you're a visual learner. They aren't the easiest way to learn math if you're not visual, but it's a good way to try out math for $20/mo.
I would start with Study.com if you want it a little easier. I think they're the most user-friendly way to learn on this forum.
